I’ve released v5.7.0. It’s purely a bug fix release. The most important bug fixed was the excessive CPU usage during muxing.

Unfortunately the bug fix for the CPU usage brought on a new bug. Due to timing issues between the child process (mkvmerge) ending and the GUI reading its output the very last line(s) of mkvmerge’s output might not be shown by mmg. The progress bar might also not be updated to full. However, this is purely a cosmetic issue: the output file has been written completely by that point. See also issue 774.

mkvmerge: new feature: If "splitting by parts" is active and the last split part has a finite end point then mkvmerge will finish muxing after the last part has been completed. Implements #768.

mkvmerge: bug fix: The DTS and TrueHD packetizers were not flushed correctly. In some rare circumstances this could lead to mkvmerge aborting with an error message about the packet queue not being empty at the end of the muxing process. Fixes #772.

mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed handling of tracks in QuickTime/MP4 files with a constant sample size. This fixes the other reason for the "constant sample size and variable duration not supported" error. Fixes issue 764.

mkvmerge: bug fix: Tracks in QuickTime/MP4 files with empty chunk offset tables (STCO and CO64 atoms) are ignored. This fixes one of the reasons for the "constant sample size and variable duration not supported" error.
